DNA synthesis is vital to several processes in biopharmaceutical innovation, including the development of gene therapies, CRISPR gene editing, antisense oligonucleotides and RNA therapies. The need ...

Researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania have invented a new way to map specific DNA markings called 5-methylcytosine (5mC) which regulate gene expression and ...

Nowadays, there's lots of buzz about spectacular new medical treatments such as personalised cancer therapy with modified immune cells or antibodies. Such treatments, however, are very complex and ...

With just a room-temperature “pot,” a sprinkling of molecules, and a simple electrical device, pathogen DNA detection can now be achieved in under an hour anywhere. This method creates ...

Bacteriophages have been used therapeutically to treat infectious bacterial diseases for over a century. As ...

Ancient DNA (aDNA) research, or paleogenomics, extracts and analyzes genetic material from the remains of ancient organisms, including humans, animals, and plants. Due to its age and exposure to ...

New research suggests the mysterious Roman-era “Beachy Head Woman” was likely from Britain, not the Mediterranean or sub-Saharan Africa. Advances in DNA sequencing are helping researchers resolve a ...
